Problems of Practice

This paper focuses on the presenting problem/issue you would like to investigate for your dissertation in practice. This is an early draft of a problem of practice and, thus, not a polished conceptual rendering of the problem of practice that will be part of your final dissertation in practice. The idea of this assignment is to practice conceptualizing problems of practice and to demonstrate your engagement with the goals of these foundational courses. Paper should be in APA professional

paper format, 7-10 pages, not including title page, abstract, or references.

Problem in practice: Resident Assistant (RA) training models are often standardized, but may not adequately account for institutional size and complexity.
